In a remarkable turn of events, Coach Evans Augustine Adotey, the mastermind behind Medeama SC’s Premier League triumph, has been celebrated and honored by the Kuntu Blankson Sports Foundation. Coach Adotey’s outstanding coaching skills and dedication to his team earned him the prestigious title of Premier League Coach of the Season.
The Tarkwa-based SC Medeama had long been in the shadow of a trophy drought spanning over four decades in the Western Region. However, under the guidance of Coach Adotey, they emerged victorious, clinching their first Premier League title. This achievement not only brought glory to the club but also secured them a coveted spot to represent Ghana in the CAF Inter-Club competition.
Medeama’s journey to the group stages of the competition was nothing short of thrilling. Their path was marked by a hard-fought 1-1 aggregate draw with Nigerian side Remo Stars, ultimately advancing on penalties. The climax of their journey was a clash with Guinean side AC Horoya, where they secured a 4-3 aggregate victory, solidifying their place in the group stages.
Coach Adotey’s leadership has etched his name in Ghanaian football history, as SC Medeama became the first Ghanaian club since Berekum Chelsea in 2012 to advance to the coveted group stages of the Champions League.
The Kuntu Blankson Sports Foundation, recognizing the significance of this historic achievement, extended heartfelt congratulations to Coach Augustine Evans Adotey. This well-deserved honor marks a milestone not only in Coach Adotey’s career but also in the annals of Ghanaian football.
